On a Conjecture of Lovلsz Concerning Bricks: II. Bricks of Finite Characteristic

In (2001, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B) we established the validity of the main theorem (1.1) for solid bricks. Here, we establish the existence of suitable separating cuts in nonsolid bricks and prove the theorem by applying induction to cut-contractions with respect to such cuts.
